South Africa -> Mother of three young children left in wheelchair after rape, beating

Both men accused of raping and beating up a young Pretoria woman near a hotel in February last year on Tuesday claimed she had consented to have sex with them.

Louis Brits, 20, of Mayville admitted that he had beaten up the woman after he and his friend Dirk Grobler, 23, had sex with her. He said this was because she insisted they should go home with her and when they refused, started pushing them around. Grobler said he had sex with the woman in her car and had pushed her away when she insisted he should come home with her. He however claimed he had left Brits alone with her on a dark corner in the early hours of the morning and had nothing to do with an attempt to murder her.

A policeman earlier testified he believed the woman would not survive after he found her naked, bleeding and struggling to breathe on the street near the Maders Hotel in Mayville, Pretoria. The woman, a mother of three young children, was now so severely disabled that she was confined to a wheelchair and could not speak coherently.

Brits claimed the victim had approached them in the hotel and insisted on dancing with them. She then accompanied Grobler to her car, where they had sex and he saw Grobler hitting her. Afterwards, she had accompanied them to a dark place around the corner, where she had sex with them both before having sex with Grobler again. No violence or force was involved, he said. He insisted that both of them had assaulted the woman when she started pushing them around and that he had left Grobler behind with her, but Grobler put the blame for the attack squarely on Brits' shoulders, insisting he was not involved. Brits admitted that he had approached four vagrants who were sleeping in a doorway nearby and asked one of the men if he wanted to have sex with the woman as well. Both accused admitted to removing the woman's car radio, but said it was the other one's idea. Two homeless men earlier told the court how they and two friends had heard the woman being raped and beaten up. The group had ignored the woman and left her dying in the street because "they did not want to get involved" and were afraid of the police.

Pretoria - A policeman on Monday told a Pretoria High Court judge he believed the young woman he found brutally beaten up near a local hotel in February last year would not survive.

Investigating officer Inspector Wessel Pieterse discovered the young blonde woman under a pink sheet next to the road near the Maders Hotel in Mayville, Pretoria, after dropping off his daughter at a nearby school.

"When I lifted the sheet I saw a woman who was not wearing any pants or underwear. Her purple top had been pulled up to her neck. Her body was naked.

"She was still alive, but she was choking on thick blood and battled to breathe. I saw a bloodied rock and her pants lying nearby. There were drag marks near her body," he said.

Pieterse immediately phoned a colleague to take photos of the scene, because he did not think the young woman would survive as she had sustained severe head injuries.

Louis Brits, 19, of Mayville previously pleaded guilty to charges of attempting to murder the woman near the hotel in February last year and stealing some of her possessions. He denied raping her.

His friend, Dirk Grobler, 22, denied guilt on charges of attempted murder, rape and theft. He gave no explanation of his plea.

The policeman said the victim had been in a coma for three weeks. She was unable to testify as she could not speak clearly and her memory was poor. She was spastic and confined to a wheelchair. Her face had changed completely after the attack.

Maders Hotel owner Riana le Roux testified that she had heard a rumour that a young woman had been attacked after locking up that Valentine's Day. She later scanned images from the hotel's 40 cameras at the police's request and printed out photos in which the victim could be seen leaving the hotel with Brits and Grobler shortly after 02:00 that morning.

U.S. District Judge Tom Varlan did not have an answer, but for the families of the slain couple he did serve up the dish they sought — the toughest penalty allowed by federal law for Eric Dewayne “E” Boyd, whom a jury concluded earlier this year helped hide out slaying suspect Lemaricus Davidson.
“The underlying crimes were unquestionably horrific in nature … and will long be felt by the families of Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom as well as this community,” Varlan said in slapping Boyd with an 18-year prison term. “Clearly, Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom touched many lives, especially young people.”

The rest of those low lifes need to be eliminated.Answer me this, "Where is justice"?The bad boys in prison are calling the shots for those on the streets...if you fatten them up on prison chow, treat them like some kind of celebrity, slap them them on the wrist for a crime that clearly calls for the death penalty,what kind of justice are we talking about here?,no wonder a lot of folks laugh at our justice system,especially the cons, because they know that they are going to be out on the streets soon,and even if they stay in 'stir' for a while they got soldiers on the street that are going to do the work for them (contract killings,whatever).They don't call prison The 'college' for nothing...i mean it's their version of higher education...and taxpayers pay for it. Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, where are you ?
